    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    A term I do here a lot, White Body or Body In White, but never knew the origins. If you are into production racing, NASCAR, V8 supercars, and so on, you probably have heard the term. It means, the bare body they get before they turn it into a race car. No engine suspension, interior, nothing. I...

    Babe Ruth-American Hercules! He was, to a certain extent a Greek Tragedy!

    This Atrocity to Fashion

    Living in a place where the weather literally becomes fringed in seconds, I am starting to reconsider my opposition to the hoodie. Having said that, under a sports coat, I think not! :eek:

    How about Carole Lombard sitting in the wheel pant of a WACO biplane?

    Last surviving member of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade dies at age 100

    Sad news! Something to remember, the Americans that served in Spain, were integrated a full decade before the U.S. military. Interesting that he served in the Pacific during WWII. As a kid, I was told all of them were Black Listed and barred from service, just propaganda I guise. Albert Baumler...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    American Experience: Space Men. About project Manheigh. Amazing what they accomplished with so little money! I did not know, that until Sputnik it was career suicide to talk about manned space flight. Von Braun was brought here to make weapons of war, not play with space rockets, and non of the...

    Actually, if you look at Jamie right at the end, and the way he turned his body, I think he was about to cry.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    MythBusters Reunion. Fun to see all five of them back together doing some reminiscing! They did actually add to science in a valuable way. They tripled the previous findings on firing a bullet straight up. They also published a paper in the journals on methane in sewers, and exploding manhole...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Kind of like these two gentlemen!

    Show us your vintage home!

    Did this today! That's my friend not me. As you can see, the tree has seen better days, according to my neighbors, it has been dead on the one side for over a decade, so it wasn't coming back. The good news is, you can now see the house from the street. The bad news, you can now see the house...

    PT Boat 658

    I just found out, that is PT 728, is a Vosper boat made in the Annapolis Boat Yard under license for Russia. The war ended before it was sent over. The Packard V12s have been replaced and it has moved to the Liberty Aviation Museum in Port Clinton, Ohio. They are restoring it back to WWII...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    With great sadness, the final episode of MythBusters! Yes, they did go out with a bang. Even then, a little science was applied, 50,000 frames per second film of the explosions. The shock wave was incredible, you can see where the devastation comes from!

    Vintage boats that make a splash with their dash!! (pics)

    Thought I would revive a great thread! There are many that say the Typhoon is the most beautiful boat ever made, who am I to argue. Edsel Ford commissioned George Crouch to design a beautiful and fast boat. Built by Henry B. Nevins Shipyard in City Island, NY, she cost $39,000. In 1930 you could...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Showing, if you wait long enough, all sayings will come back in style. I have heard quite a lot recently, young people saying, both in person and on TV, "let's blow this popsicle stand!"

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Wheeler Dealers. One of the most iconic cars of the 20th century, the Messerschmitt Bubble car! They used a Mercedes van to haul it, and there was room to walk around it. Ed could almost drive it from the back seat! :)

    The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

    It is a shame, that a great utilitarian motorcycle jacket, is now just a fashion peace. The RUBS were bad enough, but now it's all about collecting and one upping fashion. Reminds me why I sold my JC Penny's version over 20 years ago!
